Help with ROTJ Luke Skywalker..

[skywarp181]

Hey guys
Just got back into 1/6 figures. I've seen a lot of great customs and I wanted to make a good Luke Rotj version.
So I got the SS Luke and not looking too good. So I need help from those of you who know a lot about this stuff.
Basically I know Luke in the movie is thin, but man this thing looks way to skinny. How would I go about filling out his suit.?
Also his hand barely holds on to the lightsaber.

So this is what I'm working on.
1. Ordered a new head sculpt.
2. Ordered the opened hand from the bespin figure I think it is.
3. Working on getting the ccfl lightsaber.

But I really need to fill out this suit it just hangs on him.
What else would be a good option?



Barely hold on to lightsaber

A new body to go with the new head sculpt would be the first thing to do. The Buck body's poseability is total crap.

What would be a good body build that would fill the suit good?
Thanks

The Hot Toys Bespin Luke body works great. That's what I used on mine. And in all honesty I would use the Medicom suit if it weren't for the shirt flap having the big piece of velcro on it. The SS suit is a little baggy on it.

If you're wanting to take it off the buck body just get some really hot water (some people say boiling, but I was afraid that would mess something up) and just soak it down to the neck for about 2-3 minutes and then take a flat head screwdriver and pry it off from the back. Should come off relatively easy.

Use a hairdryer and aim it about 1 inch away from the neck for about 1 minute. Peel the head right off the body and let it cool. Watch out though, the plastic will be HOT!
